that the category associated with Agni includes “hot, fiery, dry or desiccating” types, while the category associated with Soma includes “moist, nourishing, calming, and cooling” types. This classification system formed the basis for grouping medicinal herbs, seasons, tastes, and foods, empirical diagnosis of human diseases, veterinary medicine, and many other aspects of health and lifestyle. Agni was considered the vital force in a healthy body, the ability to digest food, and the innate capacity for nourishment. In Ayurveda, Fleischman states, “the amount of Agni determines the state of health.” Agni is a vital entity in Ayurveda. In it, Agni is the fiery metabolic energy of digestion, enabling the absorption of food, cleansing the body of waste and toxins, and transforming dense physical matter into subtle forms of energy needed by the body. Jathara-agni governs the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, Bhuta-agni governs the production of bile in the liver, Kloma-agni governs the production of pancreatic enzymes that break down sugar, and so on. The nature and quality of these Agnis depend on a person’s dosha, which is divided into vata, pitta, and kapha.”

Fire, simply as a section in Wikipedia, as an element. “Fire is a primary element, the first of the four worldly elements. A term used in ancient and medieval natural philosophy, as well as in alchemy, occultism, astrology, Dharmic religions, and the like.
Its number is 1; its color is red; its symbol is a simple dot (•). It is the primordial energy (the initial principle) of any manifestation. Fire has a continuous connection with other elements: the element of earth is its carrier; air ignites it; as for primordial water — they are interdependent.
Fire exists in three forms:
• earthly fire — emerging from the depths of the earth, manifests in volcanic
eruptions;
• spatial (lightning) — connects the heavenly and earthly planes;
• celestial (the sun) — eternal in the form of suns, blazing by day and directing
its light to the moon at night.
According to the oral traditions of the African Fulbe people, fire is celestial because it strives upward, and water is earthly since it falls down as rain. It is of heavenly origin and earthly purpose, while fire has an earthly origin and a heavenly purpose.
